Architectural efforts are exploring many dimensions for network backbones, designing deeper or wider architectures, but how to best aggregate layers and blocks across a network deserves further attention. We augment standard architectures with deeper aggregation to better fuse information across layers. Our deep layer aggregation structures iteratively and hierarchically merge the feature hiera...

Two-dimensional patterned and controlled polyelectrolyte aggregations (e.g., tree-like ramified structures) created by microcontact printing have been demonstrated and discussed. Polyelectrolyte-micropatterned aggregations on surfaces were controlled by the micropattern size and shape of PDMS stamps. The formation of aggregates was dependent on the ink and surface conditions, and the aggregates...

Principles of separable aggregation of multichannel (multisource) data sets by parallel layers of formal neurons are considered in the paper. Each data set contains such feature vectors which represent objects assigned to one of a few categories.The term multichannel data sets means that each single object is characterised by data obtained through different information channels and represented ...

Visual recognition requires rich representations that span levels from low to high, scales from small to large, and resolutions from fine to coarse. Even with the depth of features in a convolutional network, a layer in isolation is not enough: compounding and aggregating these representations improves inference of what and where. Architectural efforts are exploring many dimensions for network ...

Many systems are naturally represented by a multilayer network in which edges exist in multiple layers that encode different, but potentially related, types of interactions, and it is important to understand limitations on the detectability of community structure in these networks. Using random matrix theory, we analyze detectability limitations for multilayer (specifically, multiplex) stochast...

This paper presents multidimensional aggregation query processing algorithm in cloud computing system. The existing cloud computing research work in the MapReduce calculation framework lacks effective support to the aggregation of multi-dimensional data. On the other hand, the use of MapReduce computing framework needs to start large computing nodes, and costs huge amounts of energy. For the ab...

Transmission characteristics of layers that contain fractal aggregates are investigated. In particular, the modulation transfer functions of these layers are studied in comparison with the case of uniformly dispersed particles. The effects of aggregation type (fractal dimension) and aggregate size are discussed.

Next generation wireless communication networks are featured with heterogeneity where multiple wireless technologies exist together. In the intersection of coverage areas of these different technologies, receiver having multiple interfaces can access them concurrently so as to improve the performance and this prompts bandwidth aggregation. A larger logical link can be created by aggregating low...
